Basketball without Borders Camp to be held during All-Star Weekend

The annual Basketball without Borders Global Camp will be held during All-Star Weekend in New York City, the NBA and FIBA announced on Thursday.

The camp will feature 39 players from 23 countries playing at Baruch College in Manhattan from Feb. 13-15. It is the first time the BWB Global Camp is held in the United States, and it will become part of the annual All-Star tradition moving forward.

The campers will train and receive coaching from several NBA players. Denver Nuggets forward Danilo Gallinari (Italy, BWB Europe 2003) and Minnesota Timberwolves center Gorgui Dieng (Senegal, BWB Africa 2009) are two alumni of the event and will coach during this year's camp. Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams (New Zealand) and San Antonio Spurs center Tiago Splitter (Brazil) will also work with the campers.

The campers will work with NBA personnel on everything from individual work to 5-on-5 games.

The first BWB camp was led by Vlade Divac and Toni Kukoc in 2001 in Europe. More than 2,200 players from 120 countries and territories have participated in BWB events, and 33 alumni have been selected in the NBA draft.
